I'm sure the reason team online has no lagf issues is that they play on separate run like god servers

When they are an obvious shill, yes

Not really, since he did the same thing to start the conversation off - it was more of a general observation about the way a lot of people seem to like to "discuss" things now. Although his comment was a bit amusing in that it is an "accusation" (I don't assume he was serious) that you rarely see made - that posters who constantly bash specific sites could be shills for other sites. I don't think that's true, but I don't think it's any sillier than most of the other "shill" accusations I see tossed around the forums.

It's just sad that so many posters love to bash people as shills rather than address their points, and it's gotten so bad that I now see people who I've thought of in the past as decent posters who jump to that conclusion in some of the silliest places.

I'm sure lots of people do, which is the problem IMO.

One of those two words doesn't mean what you think it means. I suspect it's the second word.

Possible ding ding ding ding. Although he might be better served to go back to his old role within pokerstars when they were somewhat forthcoming and transparent.
My ONLY financial interests are my own. 160k players illustrated on the client. It's amazing STILL how quick the people with the obvious lifeline to Pokerstars and the industries financial well being are so quick to still brush this off.
Big Salmon, your connection was good in the subway yesterday? That was a rarity indeed.Especially since Pokerstars itself admitted their servers wet the bed yesterday, which as we all know must of been reallllly bad for them to say that.
I DO NOT want to play games that are severely datamined. I DO NOT want to join/play games that have severe lag everytime the server reaches capacity. There was infinitely more customers on the client in previous years with infinite more reliable servers. Something is very wrong with the current state of Pokerstars. They will bs there way to collecting as much $ as possible without directly addressing these issues efficiently, promptly

Whilst I agree with Bobo somewhat regarding the amount of people being dismissed as shills lately (and I am also guilty of it from time to time) and this preventing a lot of key points from being broached it is absolutely laughable for bigsalmon of all people to be calling out anyone else in regards to this

From his ( big salmons) first few posts it goes without saying he is an employee of either Amaya or stars. I am not interested in calling anyone out or playing who's who. My main agenda and only agenda is to try and hold Pokerstars accountable for the service they are providing to it's customers which is far from adequate. They are knowingly allowing games to be run unfairly for years now with bots and datamining, and everyday their servers break down and it's a complete gong show during promotional events. What should not be tolerated is not issuing mass refunds for these games. Players need regulation/protection. This is not right. The mod who keeps interjecting on these issues is useless on these topics as I don't think they have ever played a hand of online poker. I am not sure why they feel the need to express themselves constantly but I suppose for some this is a free speech platform. Not for some, but for some.

I get your point and agree with much of it and personally could not think less of Amaya at present. That said even I have taken note exactly how much anti Amaya/Stars material you are posting. Not saying I disagree just saying it's popping up everywhere and if it's to the point I'm noticing this as a massive Amaya hater at present then your probably posting a **** ton of it which is obviously going to cause some friction.

And hope you're not referring to Bobo he is actually one of the better mods around here lol. Sometimes it may not seem like it and has taken me several years to get used to his posting style and often strange way of making points. But again definitely one of the better mods

Oh, no problemos then!

Many others like me for example had bad lags on sunday evening and it actually wasn't much better yesterday. Nice to hear that it was working fine, because you didn't have any problems.

Sunday night was terrible for lag. 3 or 4 times I was timed out, including when I had QQ in the million. Clicked raise, nothing happened then my hand got folded. Gg stars

F lag is unbearable both yd and today tilted the sh*t out of me.Thanks Stars you joke of a company.

The servers are lagging like **** right now

In other news, the sky is blue.

Yes, I have spoken out about the overwhelming datamining occurring on the tables and the servers. I feel a company that simply provides tables to play games that are suppose to be fair should have games without lag and no datamining

Laggy here in germany too.

I get 6-7 seconds lags as well since quite some time now. Seems to be getting worse tho.

Sick thing is that it's still the best site.

not the most ethical tho

Like the datamining issue, nothing has changed in a year, in fact it's gotten worse. Read through the employees statements. It's the same garbage. they are playing customers for fools, pocketing as much $ as possible before fully exposed or well runs dry. I said it before and I'll say it again this is a form of fraud knowingly allowing compromised games with bots and datamining and not providing adequate refunds or warnings and providing games with severe server problems for "SOME". Is this being intentionally done with good connections for selected players to have an advantage? If not why wasn't this fixed EONS AGO.
